From the Minister
Dear Unity Family,
As Father's Day approaches this Sunday, there is another holiday to celebrate as well. Tomorrow, June 19th, is Juneteenth, a day that honors the commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States. As a commitment to expanding its ongoing diversity, equity and inclusion programs (DEI), Unity World Headquarters has declared Juneteenth a paid holiday for all employees working at Unity Village.
I am grateful for this decision from CEO, Jim Blake, because it not only puts our spiritual principles into practice, but it also directly demonstrates our core belief in Unity that we are all made of sacred worth.
As conversations about racial equality and justice continue to unfold in our country--and around the world--we each want to keep doing our part to help the healing process.
And so, I want to share a powerful a TED Talk with you by Bryan Stevenson. He is the founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery, AL. Although I saw this talk several years ago, it remains one of my favorites.
I have viewed it and shared it many times!
You may also recognize Bryan Stevenson's name from the highly acclaimed movie "Just Mercy" which came out last year. It is free to rent on many digital platforms throughout June.
Watch the TED Talk... and then go watch the movie!
There is much for which to be hopeful. We are the ones.
In Love and Unity,
Rev. Anne Tabor

A Prayer for the Wounded Heart of Humanity
We call upon God's Love in this important moment, knowing that Divine Love is the greatest power in the Universe. We pray for the wounded heart of humanity as we grieve, rage, cry, and despair over injustice and inequity. May Divine Love enfold and comfort everyone who is hurting. May Divine Wisdom guide each person and institution in taking inspired action to ensure that all are celebrated for their inherent goodness as a part of God's creation. May we remain resolute in walking the course of human rights and social justice for all. We pray in the spirit of unity, love, and oneness. And so it is. Amen.

Power of Wonder: Playfulness
Instructor:
Ev G. Godina
Cost:
$20
Location:
Hybrid
Start Date:
06/18/2020
Many spiritual seekers spend years being stuck, while distracted by chasing more information and living in their intellect instead of their heart.
Often, they feel that true spiritual awakening and growth is out of their reach, but they don't know why. Imagine if our life can reflect the innate attributes we had as children, where playfulness was our way of being and our resources of our imagination seemed unlimited.
What if we were to reclaim our power of wonder so that we can explore the unlimited within our dreams and challenges?
Within the course we will revitalize our Power of Wonder with tools, so that we can express our best intelligence and fulfill our best life.

UNITY'S FIVE BASIC PRINCIPLES
There is only one Presence and one Power in the Universe and in my life,
God the Good.
Human beings have a spark of divinity within them, the Christ spirit within.
Their essence is of God, and therefore they are also inherently good.
Human beings create their experiences by the activity of their thinking.
Everything in the manifest realm has its beginning in thought.
Prayer is creative thinking that heightens the connection with God Mind and therefore brings forth wisdom, healing, prosperity, and everything good.
Knowing and understanding the laws of life, also called Truth, are not enough.
A person must live the truth he or she knows.
|
|
CORE VALUES
Spirit-Led:
Centered in the awareness of God's presence, we turn within for divine guidance in
all we do.
Love:
Love is our True Nature. We express the harmonizing power of love to
see good everywhere and in everybody. Love binds together the whole
human family.
Diversity:
We believe that all people are created with sacred worth. In a spirit of Unity,
we embrace each person as an expression of God grounded in truth and love.
Connection:
We live, love, and laugh from our Oneness with God. We honor our inter-connectedness with each other, with all life, and the earth.
Abundance:
God is our Infinite Source of Good. We gratefully demonstrate prosperity in all areas of our lives. We wisely use our wealth of resources to serve our spiritual community and the world.
Service:
We cultivate enlightened leadership by practicing the teachings of Jesus the Christ through sacred service. It is a blessing to serve locally and globally.
Integrity:
We consciously choose to practice living our Core Values and Unity Principles rather than simply professing them. We choose to communicate from the heart with authenticity and deliver on our commitments with reliability.
